Multiple people are dead after a shooting this morning at a Connecticut elementary school, according to a report.

According to a witness report, the school's principal and another staffer were killed while the vice principal was shot in the leg afte a gunman opened fire in a hallway.

A witness said gunshots were heard in the hallway during a meeting and that "100 rounds" must have been fired, according to CNN. After the shots were fired, three people ran into the hallway but only the vice principal crawled back.

Cops responded to reports of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary just after 9:40 a.m., and said the gunman was in the school's main office, according to reports.

What a disaster. And to think: not one of the good guys had a gun.

Reports say the shooter was the father of a student there. Looks more like another nut who should not have been allowed on the street.

If you want to really torture yourself, befriend Mia Farrow on Facebook. She’s on it ALL DAY LONG complaining about America. Now she’s screaming about this horror. Makes me wonder if Woody was the nice one...

Is there a good MSM live feed reporting? Right now I’m on a local ABC affiliate showing live from ABC NEWS.

Been in a holding pattern ever since this started. Want to hear from the police. The initial news reports are almost always wrong...and so I pray that it wasn’t as bad as they are saying...and if it was, prayers for the families involved is all I can offer right now with no verified information.

Makes sense. I have yet to hear a description of the perp. Probably because it’s too embarrassing to progressive sensibilities.

I thought gun control was having a good sight picture and knowing where your shots went.

In CO that is about right, John Chickenlooper aside.

A pattern is emerging:

Only looney liberals do the shooting, and it is mostly in looney leftie places that these shootings happen.

And since schools have no guns available, the perps feel empowered to shoot them up

Have they ID’d the gunman as a Tea Party conservative yet? Or since his last name might be Muslim they’re going to say it was a random attack, nothing to do with terrorism?

You heard right. I heard the same and was stunned. This guy went into a class and killed all of the kindergarten babies? It’s unbelievable.

Why? In almost every one of these incidents, the perp is a white male. There are exceptions (VA Tech and Ft. Hood), but sad to say, its mostly white guys.

My take on it? What, do I know more about it than you do?

There are 18 children dead...until we know why and at whose hand all that should be discussed is prayer and sympathy.

It amazes me that people have to be told this.

Yeah ... you can cover and run with numbers and death ... but exact description requires time and thought.

They're scrambling to find the 'right' words.

ESPECIALLY if it turns out to be a 'sensative' subject.
